Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is official with QHD display, Snapdragon 810 SoC

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro looks just like the newly announced Mi Note - it uses a dual-glass design with a 2.5D front and 3D rear glass. The footprint remains the same as the standard Mi Note, but the Pro version brings a better 5.7" display and more powerful innards.

The rest if the notable specs include LTE Cat.9 connectivity for up to 450Mbps downlink speeds and 64GB internal storage. The 13MP rear camera features a Sony IMX214 sensor, optical image stabilization and dual-tone flash, while the battery inside is a 3,000 mAh unit. There is also a front 4MP 1/3" sensor camera for great selfies.

The standalone sound processor ESS ES9018K2M mobile Hi-Fi Edition should improve the audio quality further with high fidelity and rich detail, while it will also provide native support for various formats such as APE, WAV, FLAC and DSD.

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop skinned with the latest MIUI launcher. The phone will launch in China at CNY 3,300 (€450) - pre-orders open on January 20, while shipping begins on January 27.

Sorry for reviving it, but... seriously, they decided to open in cities like Bareilly and Kanpur but not in the capital city of Lucknow itself. Don't know if they did that on purpose or... forgot the geography, history, demography of Uttar Pradesh
